Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content communicating, displaying, generating, hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with personal computing devices, servers and/or platforms. The systems interact to identify and retrieve data within or across platforms, which can be used to improve the quality of data used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The disclosed systems and methods determine and display message content within a portion of a message inbox in a manner that is specific to the type message content. According to some embodiments, when a message is received in a message inbox of a user, the message content can be opened for display within a dedicated portion of the inbox, thereby enabling improved message content retrieval, access and navigation within a message platform or message application.

The present disclosure relates to improving the performance of computer systems and/or platforms programmed to work in concert with messaging systems for mail triaging. Disclosed are computer systems and methods for enabling a sender of a message to classify a message addressed to the recipient's inbox prior to sending the message based on triaging settings set by the recipient. Message triaging can include applying a recipient created flag to the message, categorizing the message according to a category preset by the recipient and/or instructing the message to be delivered to a specific folder(s) in the recipient's inbox based on folder instructions set by the recipient. The message sender is capable of classifying the message according to classifications the recipient has designated, whereby upon delivery of the message, the message is delivered and displayed in the recipient's inbox according to the recipient's settings that were selected by the sender.

One or more client devices, systems, and/or methods for onboarding feature cues for a product are provided. A feature cue and an existing feature cue, comprising eligible feature cues (e.g., feature cues that a user has not viewed, are relevant to the user, etc.), are provided to a dispatching component (e.g., configured to provide feature cues to users). A presentation hierarchy, of the feature cue and the existing feature cue, is determined based upon feature cue rules and user parameters. The feature cue, having a first hierarchical position in the presentation hierarchy, is presented to the user, through a client device hosting the product, at a first time. The existing feature cue, having a second hierarchical position in the presentation hierarchy, is presented to the user, through the client device, at a second time, where the first time and the second time are determined by the feature cue rules.

Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions between servers in a messaging system supported by or configured with content providing servers or platforms. The disclosed systems interact to filter data across platforms, which data can be used to improve the contextual quality of data used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The disclosed computer systems and methods enable the communication of contextually relevant Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) content to a user's inbox. Such messages are native to a communication platform, application or service associated with the user's inbox. Such messages can be selected for delivery to a user based on the user's profile data, behavioral information, a user's geographic location, demographic information, a time period, and the like.

A cross-device messaging integration capability is disclosed, which allows a user using a first device to indicate, using a first user computing device, an intent to perform one or more messaging actions at one or more second user computing device(s). The first and second devices may be different devices. The user may receive a reminder or other notification of the user's intent at the second device(s).

A system and method for assuring the privacy of a computer application includes generating a user interface with a privacy feature coupled with a computer application. Through the user interface, the user is able to activate the privacy feature while interacting with the computer application. The computer application displays application-based screen elements against a backdrop. Once activated, the privacy feature presents a visual display hiding the application-based screen elements in the application from view without closing or logging out of the application.

Methods and systems for providing content on a webpage includes rendering a webpage having a plurality of page areas. Each of the plurality of page areas is associated with an entity having display content. Selection of one of the plurality of page areas is detected. The selection causes a landing page to be rendered in place of the webpage. A return to the webpage from the landing page is detected. In response to the return, the selected page area of the webpage is modified to include at least one additional entity having associated display content.

System and method for contextually enriching content of a referrer page when returning from a landing page

A system and method for automatic draft email notification includes the following steps or acts performed while a user is engaged with a first email in an active email session: retrieving a value from the first email to use as a search term; accessing draft emails associated with the user; determining if the search term from the first email matches a corresponding string in the draft emails associated with the user; and presenting the draft emails that match the search term as a listing of selectable draft emails.
